Penn State Latin Mass group continues to attract students
Wednesday, January 20th, 2021
“Really in a time where faith isn’t being focused on in school, the Latin Mass Society has proven to be a strong vehicle for bringing together Catholics and different people across campus,” Birch said.
Birch is the group’s vice president and majors in statistics.
“I know in my major I cannot connect with too many people, but through this I’ve been able to connect and grow with people in our shared faith,” he said.
Birch talked about how the sense of community in the group helps students grow in faith.
“Ever since churches started reopening, since then I’ve gone to a Latin Mass every Sunday,” Birch said. “It’s really helped me incorporate prayer into my daily life, including saying the Rosary daily and undertaking acts of penance.”
